. I INVENTORS ALBERT F. SEMINATOREY ATTORNEY BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention is in the field of pulse generators, more particularly generators of variably spaced pulses.
In the prior art one type of circuit used for generating a pulse which must occur at a particular time is comprised of a comparator which develops an output voltage to activate a monostable multivibrator, the output of which is the desired pulse. Such circuits using a single monostable multivibrator require a complex gate logic circuit ahead of the multivibrator if more than one pulse is required. This gate logic circuitry requires many duplicate components, such as a comparator and associated circuitry for each respective output pulse desired. The invention overcomes this and other defimay also function as a driver to form the system output on an output lead 90.
The output pulses from monostable multivibrator 60 are furnished over a line 110 to. clock a counter 101.
ciencies of the prior art by using a single comparator V and monostable multivibrator in conjunction with a counter controlled biasing circuit to generate a pulse train comprising a number of pulses occuring at selected times.
. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention is a circuit for generating a series of BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the invention;
FIG. 2A to 2D shows certain voltage waveforms generated by the invention; and I FIG. 3 is a circuit schematic of the invention.
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the invention. In FIG. 1, a ramp voltage generator 100 develops a ramp shaped voltage waveform which is applied to a zero and slope adjusting circuit 20. Circuit 20 is adjustable to position the positive and negative excursions of the ramp voltage with respect to zero and to adjust the slope of the ramp. See curve A of FIG. 2. The output voltage of circuit 20 in the form of a corrected ramp is applied to one input of a comparator 40. A reference voltage from a reference voltage generator 160 is applied to a second input of comparator 40. Comparison of the two voltages, one a ramp shape and the other a modified staircase voltage, results in a series of output voltage signals from comparator 40. The comparator 40 is reset by the subsequent positive transition in the reference staircase voltage. The output signals from comparator 40 are applied to a monostable multivibrator 60 which in response thereto generates a series of shaped pulses of uniform duration and selectively variable spacing. The output of 60 passes through an inverter 80 which Counter 101 develops output voltages in accordance with the count stored therein which control a logic circuit 120 which in turn controls an adjustablebiasing circuit 140. Circuit 140 controls a reference voltage generator 160 which generates a modified staircase reference voltage which is applied to the second input of comparator 40 over a line 130.
The staircase reference voltage can be varied by adjusting biasing circuit 140. This varies the spacing of the system output pulses on line 90.
In FIG. 2, curve A shows the shape of the ramp voltage generated by rarnp voltage generator 100. Curve B shows the output waveshape'of monostable multivibrator 60. Curve C shows the shape of the staircase reference voltage generated by 160. Curve D shows the output pulses of the system on line 90.
FIG. 3 is a schematic of one circuit for implementing the invention. Ramp voltage generator 100 may be a prior art generator, usually a part of other equipment with which the invention is synchronized. Zero and slope adjustment circuit 20 is comprised of a differential amplifier ARI having zero and slope adjustments provided by potentiometers R5 and R9 respectively. Comparator 40 is comprised of a differential amplifier AR2 having a positive input terminal connected to the output of ARl and having a negative input terminal connected to receive the staircase reference voltage from 160 over line 130. Monostable multivibrator in a known manner, since only six output pulses are,
desired in this particular application. This may be accomplished by a reset pulse on the line shown connected to pins 4, l0, and 4 of USA, U33, and U4A, respectively, or by known feedback techniques.
Logic circuit is comprised of three integrated circuits U5, U2B, and U6 connected as shown. Three output leads from 120 lead to three resistors R17, R18, and R19 which with R20 comprise the adjustable biasing circuit 140. These resistors have a common connection to a line which is connected through resistors R14 and R15 to the base of a transistor Q1 which comprises reference voltage generator 160.
As indicated by FIG. 3, pulses from monostable multivibrator 60 are sent over line 1 10 to the clock input of the first flipflop U3A of counter 101 to step the counter in a known manner. As the count in the counter advances the states of the flipflop Q and 6 output terminals change to change the output of the NANDS and the NOT function gate drivers of logic circuit 120 which are connected to resistors R17, R18, and R19. As the outputs of U28 and U6 vary between logical lsand 0s, the bias on O1 is varied. This afiects the conduction of Q1, causing the voltage at the negative input terminal of AR2 to vary in the staircase increments shown in curve C of FIG. 2. When the reference staircase voltage is increased to the next positive transition, the comparator 40 is reset to a normal state. Comparison of these staircase increments with the ramp voltage from 20 results in a comparator output signal causing monostable 60 to develop the system output pulses.
The invention has utility in any application requiring a plurality of accurately spaced pulses, for example for radar rangemarking. Numerous other applications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Pulse spacing can be varied by substituting difi'erent valued resistors in adjustable biasing circuit 140, as by using potentiometers rather than fixed resistors. Extremely narrow output pulses can be provided by using the comparator 40 output signal directly, which essentially eliminates the multivibrator 60. The comparator output voltage spike width is directly related to the inherent propagation delay of the counter 101 and logic circuit 120, adjustable biasing circuit 140, and reference voltage generator 160. Obviously the radix of counter 101 as well as the counter output connections and/or logic circuit 120 can be varied as desired to obtain any desired sequence of variably spaced pulses. As shown, the first NAND gate of chip US in logic circuit 120'has inputs from the output terminals of counter flipflops U3A and U4A, while the second NAND gate derives its two inputs from the first NAND gate and the 6 output of flipflop U3B. Changing this logic could obviously change the reference voltage and system output. The adjustments available to the counter, the logic circuit, and the biasing circuit make the range of adjustment of the system output practically limitless.
The integrated circuits shown are commercially available modules. The elements ARI and AR2 are National Semiconductor Co. Number LM201 amplifiers. The elements U3A, U33, and U4A are Steward Warner J K type flipflops Number 705-25. The element U1 is a Steward Warner JK type flipflops Number 728-25 modified to be monostable byresistor R10 and capacitor C2 shown connected to pins 5 and 9. It should be noted that the output of U1 on pin 13 goes directly to the clock input of flip-flop U3A which requires a negative going voltage. The pulse on pin 13 is brought back in to the NOT circuit shown in U1, amplified, and sent out on pin 4 to be reinverted by inverter-driver U2A to form the system output pulses.
The elements U6, U28, and U2A are Stewart Warner Number 944-2? modules. U5 is a Stewart Warner Number 963-25. Resistor and capacitor values (in ohms and microfarads), voltages, and rectifier and transistor type numbers are shown so that a person skilled in the art can readily make the invention.- Additionally, the manufacturers pin or connector numbers are shown adjacent the connections to the several elements.
It should be understood that the embodiment of FIG. 3 is shown by way of example only. The invention can be implemented using many other components, for example tubes, and in many other configurations using the basic principles of the invention disclosed.
